To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWIN HUTCHINGS, ofHartford, in the county ot'Hartford and State of Connecticut, haveinvented a new and Improved Printers Galley; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof,which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part of thisspecification.

This invention relates to improvements in printers galleys; and consistsin providing` a rest for the same7 whereby the bot-tom thereof will bepresented to and maintained in the same plane with the top of the tableto receive the type, as will be more fully described on reference to theaccompanying drawings, wherein- Figure l represents a plan view of myimproved galley, and Fig. 2 verse section of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents the bottom of the galley, and B the sides thereof. The saidsides, at the end of the galley which receives the type, are

represents a transmade to project beyond the bottom, as represented at-C, whereby, when the bottom is presented to the edge of the stone ortable to re- .ceive the type, the said ends Will rest on the topthereof, and the said bottom be maintained in exactly the same planewith the edge of' the table, insuring the sliding of the type thereonwithout disarrangin g them, and avoiding the expensive arrangement of arabbet on the table.

Hitherto the assistance of a second man has been required to slide apage of type from an ordinary stone or table onto a galley; to preventmaking pi. This invention enables one man alone to do the same with more.ease and with greater safety.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecureby Letters Patent- Printers galleys, provided with rests C to hearupon the tops ofthe tables when receiv' ing the type, substantially asspecified.-
